Premium news on a shoe string?

A start up from Sweden called Silobreaker could give the premium current awareness vendors a run for their money. The site indexes web content and adds a lot of tags – and then adds on some Web 2.0 interface stuff which makes for a nice-looking service. And at $398 a year it’s quite a bit cheaper than Nexis or Factiva. Of course, it doesn’t have the depth or breadth of those two, but then I’m always reminded of the Innovator’s Dillema.
